Hi there Sugaraddict! As a gluten and dairy intolerant vegetarian who is on a diabetic diet, I have to experiment with almost every new recipe. However this recipe I made as per the instructions. The family loved them and I only had one at a time as they were small.

In saying this I usually cut back the required sugar by half in most recipes as my family don’t notice the difference. If I was to remove sugar altogether, I would subsitute with coconut and a little honey.
